Maitland's AGONY as he is CARED FOR by the person with the most reason to hate him in the world, if Ewen but knew it!!! His TORMENT as he struggles with the question of whether to tell Ewen: is it selfish to tell Ewen when that knowledge will only cause Ewen pain, or MORE selfish to keep it to himself when it could only cause Ewen MORE pain if he somehow learned thereafter?
Even though the book doesn't come together as well as the other two, it did still DEFINITELY have some peak quality scenes. I also really like MacPhair as a baddie: his evil is just so waspish and petty that one can but cheer when he is thwarted at every turn.
